• Guest Speaker – Patricia A. Tracey, VP, Hewlett Packard– U.S. Navy Vice Adm. (Ret.)– Vice President, Industry development– U.S. Department of Defense, US Public Sector Hewlett-Packard Company

• Questions and Answers – Board of Directors

Bylaws Amendment Rationale

• The responsibilities associated with a combined Vice President-Operations and Community Outreach requires a significant volunteer effort, which has hampered our ability to fill the position.

• This proposed amendment divides the responsibilities between two positions—Vice President, Operations and Vice President, Community Outreach. – The Vice President, Operations would be accountable to the President for

managing the chapter operations and managing our progress against the Chapter Strategic Plan.

– The Vice President, Community Outreach—also accountable to the President—would be externally focused on reaching target populations in the community for support and collaboration on common goals and objectives.

• By dividing the responsibilities, the chapter is more likely to attract skilled volunteers for each position and achieve the goals and objectives within the Chapter Strategic Plan.
